How to leave orders open when using automated trading

  Hi,

  During automated trading, an order to open seems to cancel on the next bar if the order is not filled during the current bar. Is there a way where we can leave the order open either 1. indefinitely or 2. until the end of day?

  Thanks

  Yes set a flag that says your entry conditions have been met and then keep placing the order bar after bar. Not tested.

  if onmarket then flag = 0 endif if not onmarket and (your entry conditions) and not flag then flag = 1 entryprice = high endif if flag = 1 then buy 1 contract at entryprice stop endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  if onmarket then flag = 0 endif   if not onmarket and (your entry conditions) and not flag then flag = 1 entryprice = high endif   if flag = 1 then buy 1 contract at entryprice stop endif
